Savannah Ellenberg was awarded the Gold Key recipient and Brandy Baxter was awarded the Silver Key recipient. This year, approximately 1,800 entries were presented for judging. Two hundred and fifty-one pieces were selected as Gold Key Awards for the exhibition. Digital images of these finalist art works will be sent to New York City for judging against other regional winners for the national exhibition held in June at the Corcoran Gallery, Washington, D.C.
